This book traces the history and ecology of the Aymaras and the
Quechuas: the highland peoples of the Central Andes, who formed the
nucleus of the great Inca Empire which extended for two thousand
miles along the Pacific coast to the fringes of the tropical
interior. In twenty millennia the Indians of the Andes had had no
cultural contacts with the Old World yet they had already passed
independently through stages of development usually associated with
the Neolithic Age and had achieved a degree of technical and
artistic excellence. In four centuries of contact there has of
course been appreciable acculturation and osmosis. Originally
published in 1952.
